[gsoc] FAQ #1: How do we handle multiple people wanting to do the same project?

[Jay Balunas]

My initial thoughts are +1 to what Anil said below.

However, as a first time mentor for GSoC, I'm not sure of the whole process in general.  I scanned the google FAQ, but did not find it that helpful.

- I've been contacted by an applicant, but I'm not sure if there is an "official" way this is done, or is it just adhoc? 

- I know the dates for student proposals - is that the deadline for us to pick the students that applied?

Is there a good place to get this general info?  I'm sorry if it is just somewhere obvious and I've missed it.

Once I understand this, I think it makes answering the question below easier.
